Though Safer Now, Maryland Hospitals Have a Long Way to Go

Maryland Hospitals Move Up in Safety Ratings, but Still Not Safe Overall

According to a recent article in the
Baltimore Sun, Maryland’s hospitals are improving in terms of safety. Most of
Maryland’s 37 hospitals received average-worse safety ratings last
year, but 10 of them have managed to give their safety score a boost in
the past 12 months. And though Maryland no longer ranks in the bottom
5 states in the country for hospital safety, the state’s hospitals
still have a long way to go before becoming as safe as they can be.

As a patient in Baltimore’s hospitals, you have a right to be certain
you are protected from further illness and injury when you go in for a
procedure or doctor’s appointment. However, when hospitals are not
kept safe, it can have serious consequences for patients, including infections,
retention of surgical devices, sepsis, injuries by medical equipment,
wrong site surgeries, and more.
